Success Stories
Your apartment? Your partner? Your vibe?
For the parole board, it’s a life-changing label. It decides whether someone behind bars is ready to come home. Bleu Inkk, also known as April Adkins, knows that fight up close. She spent 27 years in prison and stood before the board nine different times before finally hearing the word "yes" in 2017.
Now she’s sharing her story live on stage. With raw honesty, humor, heart, and a little gospel, Bleu takes you inside her journey of strength, survival, and the long road to freedom. This is more than a performance. It’s a celebration of what it means to come back to yourself, to forgive, and to be seen.
Come experience why being "Found Suitable" means so much more when it's your own life on the line.
